Duracoat?

**24/7dude** · August 3rd, 2009, 12:32 AM

been doing a little research and have a few questions:

1. Where could I pick up a small can of Matte Black Duracoat? would Lowes/Home Depot stock this?

2. What ALL do I need if I don't have a compressed air machine? Just look ing for a little can to do my Surefire light and that's it. I won't be using it again.

3. Any other tips you may have for someone that's never done this before?

if that'd be a cheaper alternative than yeah i'd pick up a can of that. I just want the light to be black like the rest of the gun, instead of green, gray, and black. Any idea on where they stock it around here? gander mountain perhaps?

ETA: that is just all in one can correct? I wouldn't need to buy any extra airosol cans or nosels would I?

If you're just doing a flashlight then say it with Krylon.

Spray paint doesn't last very long. I've tried it.

Durabake in the aerosol cans didn't work much better, following the Lauer instructions, but I've seen several different methods for prepping and curing on the internet.
